Upskilling leads to new opportunities to help community

Griffith University student Jarryd Stanley.
Driven to do ‘more meaningful’ work, Wurundjeri Koori man Jarryd Stanley decided to upskill with a Master of Mental Health Practice from Griffith University and even before completing the course, has landed a new role helping members of his community.
The social worker and now, mental health case manager – a role Jarryd credits his masters for – studies online part-time while fulfilling his new role with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-controlled Kalwun Development Corp.
Kalwun delivers culturally appropriate health and support services for First Nations people on the Gold Coast. As part of Kalwun’s Aboriginal Medical Centre’s social health team, Jarryd carries out mental health and drug and alcohol rehabilitation outreach.
